Hi, Norma,
> It is an early model parallel port drive
OK, you need to add the following line to your /etc/conf.modules file:
alias block-major-8 ppa
If you have the ppa driver in your kernel, that should make it work after a
reboot. The physical device will be /dev/sda4, so if you created a mount
point (i.e.: /mnt/zip), you should be able, with a disk in the drive, to
type:
(for DOS formatted zips:)
mount -t vfat /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip
and it should then mount your disk. I am using the same sort of drive on my
system, and it works very well indeed.
You may then, once you have it working, want to add a line to your
/etc/fstab file so that it recognized the mount point at boot. Also, if you
are running KDE as a GUI, you can set up the provided mount/unmount icon to
make it point and click, if you'd like.
I hope this helps. If not, let us know what you are seeing, and I'll try to
figure it out with you.
Good luck!
Caity
